Has that been the case all Spring or just today?  

Not sure, really. He hasn't really held the running game this spring though. 1 CS, 6 SB. 

I will say, I LOVE how he receives the ball. 

[interloper]

Occurs to me they wouldn't really option him after today anyway - probably stick with 3 catchers until they break for the regular season.

He also didn't have any errors in his first 14 games.

I don't know why you're looking at errors. The 2nd throw on the botched run down wasn't an error, but it's just as bad.

[interloper]

Free. Outs.

Two of 'em!

[interloper]

And of course he hits a 2-run opposite field home run. 

Man oh man.

Sisco with a 2-run bomb! All hit, no glove lol.

Then why wasn't it ruled an error?  As you were typing, he just hit a 2 run homer, and he's hitting .400 and OPSing probably about 1.200.

Wish we still had Francisco Pena.  

I loved Pena!

hes with the Cards. Cards understand the impact of a good catcher, I wonder if he makes the team there...

Because it was a run down, and no runners advanced. He missed the free out, but they don't charge errors on those plays.

If Pena hits the waiver wire, the Orioles should jump on him.  Is Sisco passable enough to catch 2 or 3 days a week and possibly DH.  His bat is ready, maybe he can get up to par on defense.

Ok, but presumably if today was the norm for him, he'd have had at least 1 error in his first 14 games, right?

If he's Mike Piazza, I guess I'd be OK with that...

And 6 stolen bases against him and any other bad defensive plays that aren't officially ruled as errors but are just as bad. Not sure what your point is? He's had a great offensive spring, he's had an average or worse defensive spring. Offensive stats don't matter in the spring, defense always matters.

My point is what I said it is- it sounds like you've seen him play 1 ST game, and because he made 2 bad defensive plays, you said he should be taken off the 25 man roster, and I need a lot more evidence than that - especially when you said you LOVE the way he receives the ball.
